Instructions
Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water. Set the sauce mixture aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the carrots, bell pepper, and snow peas, and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add another tablespoon of sesame oil.
Add the cooked protein to the pan and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes to heat through.
Lower the heat slightly and pour the prepared sauce into the pan. Stir to coat the vegetables and protein evenly.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss until everything is well combined and coated in the sauce.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.
